When There Is Nothing Left But Love

When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 956

I pursed my lips and looked at him. “Ashton, I remember you’ve told me before that Stella hasn’t met the requirements for a promotion. So why did you suddenly promote her to be your secretary?”

He chuckled as he fed me a piece of sushi. “It’s because of Justin. He pleaded with me to promote Stella to a secretarial role, but her pay remains unchanged. After being hospitalized, she suffered from some side effects and insisted that she was a secretary, not a receptionist. They argued about it so much that Justin eventually came to me for help.”

I furrowed my brows as I thought about it. So that’s how it is. Stella did play a part in rescuing Ashton, so such a request isn’t unreasonable. Besides, how can Ashton turn her down when she’s even brought up the side effects she suffered?

“Is the sushi not tasty?” Ashton asked when he saw me frowning.

“No. It’s pretty good! I just feel like I’ve put on weight recently.”

Ashton burst out laughing at that. “You shouldn’t be thinking about losing weight when you’re pregnant. And besides, you aren’t fat!”
